"The overall experience would have to be termed somewhat disappointing because while the overall quality of workmanship was good, there were a few parts were it was very shoddy such as the flashing around the chimney and drip edges. In fact, a shingle or two was puffy. This was immediately pointed out to Emmanuel when he came near the end of the installation (November 2021), but the crew could not fix it. Emmanuel stated that something underneath the shingle was causing it to lay uneven, but that was not the case with the original roof which was pretty much flat there and throughout. It makes little sense to offer a lifetime labor warranty if problems are not going to be fixed. This was quite disappointing because Emmanuel was overall very easy to work with, flexible to our needs, gave very detailed estimates, and even offered us a discount for removing two layers of the previous shingles. The point is if you pay around $5000, then it is fair to expect quality workmanship. Still, we reached out early July 2022 for a new estimate for sidings (and windows), but we did not get a response."

"Their consultant was on time and very knowledgeable. I ultimately decided to move forward with a new Roof and replacement windows. My Roof was done roughly 2 weeks later and my windows were just completed. I am very pleased and look forward to the energy savings this winter. The architectural shingles really look good and have gotten me a lot of compliments from my neighbors."

"Chose A Plus Roofing because of their honesty and sincerest. Had them out in spring of 2016 for roof replacement. They advised we were a little premature to replace our roof. We had 3-5 more years left. Called them back in Feb. 2021 for completive bids against other roofing companies. They discussed my options, listened to my concerns an provided a very completive quote. Selected them. Roof looks fantastic, installers were true craftsmen and professional. Company check in with me prior to installing the roof, both days the roof was being installed and came by after the roof was installed. Super happy we choose A Plus Roofing."

"This was a big job with a replacement of a 6 unit condominium metal roof. Carlos kept me up to date along the way and the team kept the job site clean and the rotted wood they found they replaced and it was a very reasonable charge."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Gum-Spring, VA

A slate roof features thin tiles of natural stone installed over a solid deck and underlayment. Formed under intense heat and pressure, slate is exceptionally durable and delivers a distinctive, high-end look. Because the material weighs far more than asphalt, most homes need added structural support before installation. 

While upfront costs are higher and routine inspections are a must, many homeowners choose slate for its unmatched longevity and curb appeal.

Slate stands out for its 50- to 200-year life span, low maintenance, and classic aesthetic. It’s fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and often boosts resale value. 

On the flip side, slate runs far more per square foot than asphalt, weighs up to four times as much, and demands a contractor who specializes in the material. Tiles can crack on impact, and repairs cost more because the work is slow and precise. If your budget and structure can handle it, slate delivers top-tier performance for generations.

Natural and synthetic slate aim for a premium, stone-like appearance, whereas asphalt focuses on affordability. Real slate runs $10 to $30 per square foot installed and lasts up to 200 years; synthetic slate costs $10 to $15 and tops out at 50 to 100 years. 

Standard asphalt averages $3 to $8 per square foot and needs replacement every 20 to 30 years. If you want the slate look without the full price tag—or extra roof weight—synthetic is a solid middle ground.

With routine inspections and prompt repairs, a natural slate roof can last well beyond 100 years; some hard-slate installations reach the 200-year mark. Soft slate falls in the 50- to 125-year range, and synthetic products last 50 to 100 years. 

Remember, flashing, fasteners, and the underlying structure may need attention sooner than the stone itself. Severe hail or fallen limbs can also shorten life span, so schedule periodic checkups with a slate-qualified roofer.

If you plan to stay in your home long term—or want a standout selling point—slate delivers strong value. Although installation costs are high, owners often recoup 60% to 70% at resale and enjoy lower replacement cycles than asphalt. The stone’s durability, energy efficiency, and timeless curb appeal also appeal to eco-conscious buyers because fewer roofs end up in landfills. Just be sure your framing can handle the weight and that you budget for occasional specialty repairs.

Skip the DIY climb if you have a slate roof. Slate may be tough against the weather, but a single misplaced step can crack a tile and create a leak path. The surface also turns slick when wet, upping the risk of injury. Professional crews use staging and hook ladders that spread weight across multiple slates, protecting both the roof and the worker. To inspect or repair slate, call a roofer who specializes in the material.
